Building a Blog with Hugo and GitLab Pages

Building a Blog with Hugo and GitLab Pages

Setting up a personal blog doesn’t have to be expensive or complicated. In this guide, I’ll walk you through creating and hosting a blog using Hugo (a fast static site generator) and GitLab Pages (free hosting) - complete with a custom domain name and SSL certificate. The best part? Outside of the cost of a domain name it’s completely free!

A New Blog

A New Blog

I’ve finally taken the plunge and committed to sharing my DevOps experiences through this new blog. After years of wrestling with pipelines, debugging deployment issues, and celebrating those sweet moments when everything just clicks, I figured it’s time to give something back to the community that has taught me so much. I’ll be sharing both the wins and the “learning opportunities” (aka the times things went spectacularly wrong) that come with working in DevOps.
